.PP

\fB\fIHWLOC_MEMATTR_FLAG_HIGHER_FIRST \fP\fP
The best nodes for this memory attribute are those with the higher values\&. For instance Bandwidth\&.

The best nodes for this memory attribute are those with the lower values\&. For instance Latency\&.

The value returned for this memory attribute depends on the given initiator\&. For instance Bandwidth and Latency, but not Capacity\&. 
.SH "Function Documentation"
.PP 
.SS "int hwloc_memattr_get_flags (\fBhwloc_topology_t\fP topology, \fBhwloc_memattr_id_t\fP attribute, unsigned long * flags)"

.PP
Return the flags of the given attribute\&. Flags are a OR'ed set of \fBhwloc_memattr_flag_e\fP\&. 
.SS "int hwloc_memattr_get_initiators (\fBhwloc_topology_t\fP topology, \fBhwloc_memattr_id_t\fP attribute, \fBhwloc_obj_t\fP target_node, unsigned long flags, unsigned * nr, struct \fBhwloc_location\fP * initiators, hwloc_uint64_t * values)"

.PP
Return the initiators that have values for a given attribute for a specific target NUMA node\&. Return initiators for the given attribute and target node in the \fCinitiators\fP array\&. If \fCvalues\fP is not \fCNULL\fP, the corresponding attribute values are stored in the array it points to\&.
.PP
On input, \fCnr\fP points to the number of initiators that may be stored in the array \fCinitiators\fP (and \fCvalues\fP)\&. On output, \fCnr\fP points to the number of initiators (and values) that were actually found, even if some of them couldn't be stored in the array\&. Initiators that couldn't be stored are ignored, but the function still returns success (\fC0\fP)\&. The caller may find out by comparing the value pointed by \fCnr\fP before and after the function call\&.
.PP
The returned initiators should not be modified or freed, they belong to the topology\&.
.PP
\fCflags\fP must be \fC0\fP for now\&.
.PP
If the attribute does not relate to a specific initiator (it does not have the flag \fBHWLOC_MEMATTR_FLAG_NEED_INITIATOR\fP), no initiator is returned\&.
.PP
\fBNote\fP
.RS 4
This function is meant for tools and debugging (listing internal information) rather than for application queries\&. Applications should rather select useful NUMA nodes with \fBhwloc_get_local_numanode_objs()\fP and then look at their attribute values for some relevant initiators\&. 
.RE
.PP

.SS "int hwloc_memattr_get_name (\fBhwloc_topology_t\fP topology, \fBhwloc_memattr_id_t\fP attribute, const char ** name)"

.PP
Return the name of a memory attribute\&. 
.SS "int hwloc_memattr_get_targets (\fBhwloc_topology_t\fP topology, \fBhwloc_memattr_id_t\fP attribute, struct \fBhwloc_location\fP * initiator, unsigned long flags, unsigned * nrp, \fBhwloc_obj_t\fP * targets, hwloc_uint64_t * values)"

.PP
Return the target NUMA nodes that have some values for a given attribute\&. Return targets for the given attribute in the \fCtargets\fP array (for the given initiator if any)\&. If \fCvalues\fP is not \fCNULL\fP, the corresponding attribute values are stored in the array it points to\&.
.PP
On input, \fCnr\fP points to the number of targets that may be stored in the array \fCtargets\fP (and \fCvalues\fP)\&. On output, \fCnr\fP points to the number of targets (and values) that were actually found, even if some of them couldn't be stored in the array\&. Targets that couldn't be stored are ignored, but the function still returns success (\fC0\fP)\&. The caller may find out by comparing the value pointed by \fCnr\fP before and after the function call\&.
.PP
The returned targets should not be modified or freed, they belong to the topology\&.
.PP
Argument \fCinitiator\fP is ignored if the attribute does not relate to a specific initiator (it does not have the flag \fBHWLOC_MEMATTR_FLAG_NEED_INITIATOR\fP)\&. Otherwise \fCinitiator\fP may be non \fCNULL\fP to report only targets that have a value for that initiator\&.
.PP
\fCflags\fP must be \fC0\fP for now\&.
.PP
\fBNote\fP
.RS 4
This function is meant for tools and debugging (listing internal information) rather than for application queries\&. Applications should rather select useful NUMA nodes with \fBhwloc_get_local_numanode_objs()\fP and then look at their attribute values\&.
.PP
The initiator \fCinitiator\fP should be of type \fBHWLOC_LOCATION_TYPE_CPUSET\fP when refering to accesses performed by CPU cores\&. \fBHWLOC_LOCATION_TYPE_OBJECT\fP is currently unused internally by hwloc, but users may for instance use it to provide custom information about host memory accesses performed by GPUs\&. 
.RE
.PP

.SS "int hwloc_memattr_register (\fBhwloc_topology_t\fP topology, const char * name, unsigned long flags, \fBhwloc_memattr_id_t\fP * id)"

.PP
Register a new memory attribute\&. Add a specific memory attribute that is not defined in \fBhwloc_memattr_id_e\fP\&. Flags are a OR'ed set of \fBhwloc_memattr_flag_e\fP\&. It must contain at least one of \fBHWLOC_MEMATTR_FLAG_HIGHER_FIRST\fP or \fBHWLOC_MEMATTR_FLAG_LOWER_FIRST\fP\&. 
.SS "int hwloc_memattr_set_value (\fBhwloc_topology_t\fP topology, \fBhwloc_memattr_id_t\fP attribute, \fBhwloc_obj_t\fP target_node, struct \fBhwloc_location\fP * initiator, unsigned long flags, hwloc_uint64_t value)"

.PP
Set an attribute value for a specific target NUMA node\&. If the attribute does not relate to a specific initiator (it does not have the flag \fBHWLOC_MEMATTR_FLAG_NEED_INITIATOR\fP), location \fCinitiator\fP is ignored and may be \fCNULL\fP\&.
.PP
The initiator will be copied into the topology, the caller should free anything allocated to store the initiator, for instance the cpuset\&.
.PP
\fCflags\fP must be \fC0\fP for now\&.
.PP
\fBNote\fP
.RS 4
The initiator \fCinitiator\fP should be of type \fBHWLOC_LOCATION_TYPE_CPUSET\fP when refering to accesses performed by CPU cores\&. \fBHWLOC_LOCATION_TYPE_OBJECT\fP is currently unused internally by hwloc, but users may for instance use it to provide custom information about host memory accesses performed by GPUs\&.
